Best Campaign vs Allied AI?

[Gters]

I would like to play a grand campaign against an AI that offers me a bit of a challenge with the last patch. Which scenario should I choose? Or which mod should I download?

Thx for anwers

Can no one give me a good answer?

Tier 3 nasty. I haven't looked at the new update in a while but it's there. But I think it is Japanese AI only....GP

Assume its version 11.28. Scenario 1 is the base game, so probably not what you're looking for. Scenarios 2, 4, 5 and 6 are increasingly more difficult for the Allied player. There is also of course the difficulty setting, if you're "newish" to AE, then try Scenario 2 with Very Hard setting. If you're looking for a greater challenge, 4, 5 and 6 are what you need.

It depends upon your level of expertise, what you can put into the game, and what you want out of the game. There are mods out there that have different situations and ships, you just have to look for them.

Thanks for the replies. I'm a decent player, many years ago I did a few campaigns with the Japanese but all of them aborted in 43 due to a very non-existent Allied AI.
Now, I would like to try playing it again. I know that Andy has developed various scenarios over the years with more advanced AI. What I don't know, is always this are they compatible with the latest game patch and/or mods.
That's why I'm asking for advice before I start a new campaign with the Japanese, I'd like to make sure I don't make a mistake as I'd like to finish it.

Allied "AI" (aka scripts) are decent in early war when defending.

Unfortunately AI cannot really handle the complex amphibious operations Allied need doing starting from 1943.

Still, you might get decent game until Allied are supposed to go on attack. Make your aim to win by Jan 1943 as Japanese.

Those Ironman scenarios might be your best bet.

Scenario 7 "Beware the Dorniers" ist what are you looking for. Play at least at level Hard

I take this as base scenario for my own mod

[Sardaukar]

Yea, Beware the Dorniers should be sufficiently brutal and challenging.

I take this as base scenario for my own mod

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd like to play the entire campaign, not just one scenario

It's a full scenario....GP

AI (Japanese and Allied) is just a bunch of scripts, no match for a human player. Now, it depends what you understand as a "challenge" - alternative scenarios that add non-historical buffs to AI player or scenarios that are more history-oriented? I can have an entertaing game against Japanese AI on Normal in Scen001 just by adding a few house rules for myself.
